Artichokes in sauce

1 tablespoon chopped parsley,
½ glass of white wine,

the juice of 2 lemons,
1 tablespoon vegetable broth,

Tonic, liver stimulator, blood purifier, diuretic and detoxifying, artichoke is a supple and versatile vegetable that goes well with both meat and fish. The youngest specimens, therefore more tender, can be consumed also raw, cut into slices, seasoned with oil and lemon and flavored with mint leaves.
